I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of PHONY government research, studies and polls.

It’s time to ban the word ‘sustainability’ and the EPA! That word has gotten on my last nerve! You hear it everywhere now...in business, in healthcare, in farming,etc.

ENOUGH!!

I looked at the “Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves” web site. I could not find what they are using to replace the wood and dung used in third world kitchens. Does anyone know? My first guess would be some sort of petroleum product, but cannot tell from the continual lack of details on the Left (your point). If they actually told people what their intent was, there would be an instant response. Can’t have that, you know. Got to keep the proles in the dark.

EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said her agency has commissioned a "groundbreaking" National Research Council study that will help the agency "incorporate sustainability into the way the agency approaches environmental protection."

Blatantly unconstitutional power grab. Agency missions are determined by Congress at their creation. They may NOT be altered by unelected administrators, or even presidents.

"Requiring a definition usually ends any discussion with a leftist, and it is the reason that they choose forums in which no questions can be asked."

I have a question for them. How do they expect people so poor that they have to cook their food on wood fires to be able to afford to buy expensive imported fuel to run their new "clean" stoves? They will use them for the photo ops. then discard them and go back to "traditional methods" when the fuel runs out.

Question really is, how much will this "green" "feel good" photo opp cost Americans???

The silence is deafening!

The now not-so-hidden goal of Agenda 21 and initiatives like it is to de-populate the rural areas and shove everyone into more 'manageable' urban areas. The 'excess' will be dealt with in the camps. Arbeit Macht Frei, nicht war?

Is the Environmental Protection Agency sustainable?

The article starts off about EPA’s Lisa Lefty touting change to sustainability, and immediately falls off a cliff with some crap about smokey African stoves as though the EPA was a division of the UN. THAT tells me something.

What is “sustainable” anyway? I have yet to see agency or anyone actually define it.

It's a Marzist catch word from Agenda21 (total control over your life under the UN and NWO).

pdf with more info.

From the pdf:
"Humanity stands at a defining moment in history. We are confronted with a perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being. However, integration of environment and development concerns and greater attention to them will lead to the fulfilment of basic needs, improved living standards for all, better protected and managed ecosystems and a safer, more prosperous future. No nation can achieve this on its own; but together we can - in a global partnership for sustainable development."

Requiring a definition usually ends any discussion with a leftist,

Very true. I had the opportunity to attend a "sustainability" conference a couple years back and the best definition they could come up with was "making the infinite from the finite". That's right up there with skittle-defecating unicorns. I suggested some kind of thermodynamic definition to see if we really were "saving" anything and you'd have thought I had defecated sans skittles.

This has been a peeve of mine since that day and I've yet to find a decent definition from any sustainability advocate that's any more accurate than what you've just said.

Sustainability is a code word for “redistribution”.

It is also one of the main words in the U.N.’s Agenda 21.

Defining the terms takes away a leftist’s power to contemporaneously manipulate the meanings to fit everyone’s desire to be on the side of the angels.

On the coast of Maine we have the Gateway 1 project. Agenda 21 all the way. Basically concentrate people and businesses into the two dozen towns in the midcoast area, keep Rt 1 in between a 2-lane scenic cartpath, have people living with businesses and make it so people will be “nudged” to use rail and bicycles. Scary. Of course this is all being couched as “protecting the true Maine.”
